Mainland Martial Arts

Chapter 326 Attracting Others' Attention

Sun An took out a few black coins from his pocket and threw them to the waiter: "No need for change." The waiter quickly caught the black coins, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He nodded repeatedly and thanked him: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, you are so generous!" Then he withdrew.

Chen Xiner picked up the teacup, gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the water, took a sip of tea, a satisfied expression on her face, and exclaimed: "Well, this tea is not bad." She looked at Jian Cang and Sun An provocatively, as if to say "What can you do to me", and the corners of her mouth rose slightly with a hint of pride.

Jian Cang glared at her fiercely, but said nothing. He picked up the teacup and drank it all, trying to suppress the anger in his heart with the scalding tea. The tea flowed down his throat, bringing a burning sensation, but he was completely unaware of it. His mind was only thinking about how to successfully bring Chen Xiner to Jinyan City and get the bounty.

The four warriors next to them were still talking incessantly about the Star Blade. Their voices were getting louder and louder, and they were completely unaware of the gazes of the people around them.

"I heard that this Star Blade originally belonged to the Cao family in Xixuan City. However, the Cao family was wiped out, and the blade was never found. The scene was truly horrific, with blood flowing like a river, and not a single member of the Cao family was left alive." A warrior spoke mysteriously, his voice low and hoarse, as if he had witnessed the bloody massacre with his own eyes, his eyes revealing a complex expression of fear and excitement.

"It must have been taken away by someone in advance, maybe it's in the hands of some master now. I don't know which lucky person it is. If I can get it, hehe, I can roam the world of martial arts freely." Another warrior guessed, with a greedy smile on his face, his eyes flashing with desire for power and wealth, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, as if the Star Blade was already in his control.

"By the way, have you heard? There is a man named Lin Feng who is also rushing to Jinyan City to get back his lover Chen Xiner. This Lin Feng is extraordinary. It is said that he has the combat power of a grandmaster! He is a big shot in the martial arts world." The third warrior suddenly said, his eyes revealing a trace of awe. People in the martial arts world always have complicated feelings towards the strong.

"Oh? Lin Feng? Who is he? Why have we never heard of him?" The others asked curiously. They stopped what they were doing and looked at the person who spoke, their eyes full of confusion.

"Lin Feng is usually very low-key, but his strength should not be underestimated. His lover Chen Xiner has disappeared, and some people speculate that she was captured in Jinyan City. According to the current itinerary, he may have already arrived in Jinyan City, or he will be there soon. If we meet him in Jinyan City, we must be careful." The warrior explained in detail, his eyes revealing a hint of caution. After all, facing a master at the grandmaster level, one may lose his life if he is not careful.

"Then we have to pay attention. Maybe we can get clues about the Star Knife from him. If we can get hold of something that could hold something against him and make him hand over the Star Knife, that would be perfect." The fourth warrior said excitedly, with a calculating gleam in his eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of himself holding the Star Knife and becoming a legend in the martial arts world.

"That's right. After we finish this pot of tea and these small dishes, we'll immediately rush to Jinyan City to investigate. Perhaps we'll get lucky and catch this turbulent event." The first warrior slammed the table and stood up. His movement created a gust of wind, causing the teacups on the table to sway slightly. The other three followed suit, grabbing their swords, donning their bamboo hats, and preparing to depart. Their figures stood out in the teahouse, and those around them unconsciously made way for them, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity.

When she heard the words of the four warriors talking about the Star Blade and Lin Feng, her heart suddenly tightened, the teacup in her hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea splashed onto the table.

"It seems that things have become more complicated." Chen Xiner frowned and thought to herself, "Since the news of the Star Knife has been leaked, the Cao family in Xixuan City... I'm afraid they are in great danger, and may have suffered a devastating disaster. These people have chased here, but obviously they haven't found the Star Knife yet. Could it be that Lin Feng and the others deliberately spread the news?" A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and the tragic scene of the Cao family with possible bloodshed emerged in her mind. Thinking of her current situation, she couldn't help biting her lip.

Chen Xiner's eyes darted around like two vibrant black gemstones as an idea quickly formed in her mind. She set down her teacup, took a deep breath, and then slammed her hand down on the table. "Bang!" The sound was like thunder, instantly shattering the already chaotic atmosphere in the teahouse and drawing everyone's attention.

Chen Xiner stood up suddenly, pointing at Jian Cang, with flames of anger burning in her eyes, and shouted: "Old man Jian, stop dreaming! With your two tricks, you still want to send me back to the Chen family in Jinyan City safely? It's simply a daydream!" Her voice was crisp and loud, echoing in the teahouse, and every word was full of provocation.

Jian Cang was a little confused by this sudden scene. He frowned and put down the teacup in his hand. It collided with the table with a "clang" sound. He looked at Chen Xiner, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes: "Little girl, what are you playing at again?"

Chen Xiner sneered and continued, "Hmph, I tell you, I won't run away, but don't think that everything is fine. Lin Feng, he will definitely be waiting for you somewhere. He will definitely come to save me, so just wait!" Her eyes revealed incomparable determination, which was a deep trust in Lin Feng.

These words, like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, stirred the teahouse. Everyone around them whispered, speculating about the girl's identity and who the Lin Feng she was referring to was. The four warriors' attention was also drawn to Chen Xin'er, their eyes flickering with amazement.

Chen Xin'er was indeed incredibly sweet, her fair skin as delicate as mutton-fat jade, tinged with a faint blush, like the sunset glow on the horizon. Her eyes were like a clear spring, limpid and bright, framed by long lashes, making them even more lively. Beneath her petite nose, her rosy lips pout slightly, revealing a stubborn endearment. Her figure was graceful, and even a simple dress couldn't conceal her graceful curves. Every move exuded captivating charm.

Although the four warriors were momentarily captivated by Chen Xin'er's beauty, they had been roaming the martial arts world for many years, and they quickly regained their composure. They exchanged glances, a glint of understanding flashing between their eyes. One of them lowered his voice and said to his companions, "Look, could this woman be the Chen Xin'er they're talking about? Judging by the situation, those two guys are most likely the ones holding her captive. Wasn't she still tied up when we first arrived?" The other three nodded.
